The inaugural Chicago Alternative Comics Expo was such a wonderful and inspiring time! Thanks to everyone who came out to the Eyeworks Double Vision screening and to chat at the table, and huge thanks of course to the brilliant CAKE organizers. The pic above is of the comics I got my hands on, and there were even more I had planned to seek out had I not gotten lost in the whirlwind of the fest! My plan for the day is to lie on the floor in the 90+ degree weather and read all of these.

I also decided to try to teach myself some pop-up techniques and make a little popup comic/zine/book thing this week in preparation for the CAKE fest. As I should have assumed, it has proven to be very time consuming, so who knows how many copies I'll have completed by this weekend... At the rate I'm going, I'm guessing no more than 3. Anyhow, here are some snaps of what some of the pages look like:
